Week 2 and 3 Task

Your next task is to synthesize your learning about AR technology by creating a lesson plan that incorporates AR. This lesson should be broader in depth and thought than the summary of AR technology that you created in Week 1. Evidence of the application of Instructional Design theory, as well as the use of AR technology is crucial. (For example, using the AugMeasure ruler app to measure as part of a Science Lesson is insufficient in terms of Instructional Design.) Think about how you can use AR technology as part of a rich lesson that allows students to work in authentic ways, collaborate, problem-solve, and so on.

Your lesson plan should include:

• Target audience/age group
• Learning or curricular outcomes
• The specific AR technology you will incorporate
• An explanation of how you have based your lesson on an Instructional Design Theory. To do this, you will need to visit the Instructional Design Theory Page, and read the summary and attached article for ONE of the three theories. This theory should be reflected in the design of your Augmented reality lesson. (i.e. How does it reflect constructivism, game-based learning, situated cognition, or elements of another Instructional Design Theory with which you are familiar?)
• A brief outline of how the lesson would unfold. This should be sufficient for others to understand, but does not need to be a step-by-step plan of the entire lesson.
• An explanation of how exactly the technology will be used, and how it enhances the experience. If you are using a game-based scenario, please briefly illustrate the narrative on which the game is based.
• You do NOT need to program or actually create the AR software/technology. You also don't need to write a full script or all of the information for characters revealed in a game-based AR simulation. This is a 'thought experiment' so to speak.

A good place to start might be to modify one of the examples of AR use in the course, and adapt it for use with your target group of learners and learning outcomes. What changes would you make in terms of technology use, narrative structure, and so on, in order to make it work for you?

You may wish to use the sample lesson plan template that we have provided below. Bullet points are fine in all areas.

When your lesson plan is complete, please email it to one of the Course Instructors. Course instructors will post the plans on the Student Lesson Plans. You are required to review two lesson plans created by other classmates and complete the Lesson Plan Feedback form below. Course instructors will contact you via email to inform you whose lesson plan you will review.

Complete the two feedback forms, and email them to a Course Instructor, as well as to the students who created the plans.

Your lesson plan will also be assessed by the Course Instructors based on the Rubric Below.
